RC Flight
Training -As a member of the 49th Mid America Jumbo Squadron
you have access to our flight instructors who can teach
you on one of our three club trainers (Sig LT-40 RC
Airplanes). Our flight instructors are very experienced with
flexible schedules (they're retired) to meet your
schedule.

Fly In - Cook Outs: The 49th Mid America Jumbo Squadron will be holding
"Fly-In / Cook Outs" on the fourth Saturday of each
month (pending any Sanction events). These
events will held at Fleming Park in eastern Jackson
County. Our Fly In / Cook Outs are all non-sanctioned
AMA events but to fly you will need a Jackson County Park
permit or a day permit from the Jackson County Parks &
Recreation. There was no landing fee just a lot of
comaraderie. The 49th Squadron provide the food!!
Bring your "go to" airplane. Any questions please
email one of our officers.

49th Jumbo Squadron Flight
Instructors:The following are the clubs' trainers' extraordinaire of
which at any time the weather is good you can usually find at
least one of them at the flying field. We have two Sig LT-40
sized trainer aircraft which we use to train new members. Or
bring your own airplane and a desire to learn and you will
solo...eventually (AMA insurance and Jackson County RC Permit
is required). If concerned about crowds at Fleming Park
our instructors also have access to a private RC field in the
Raymore, MO areas.

The 49th Squadron shares this
Jackson County owned airfield with the Kansas City Radio Control
(KCRC) club. The Charles W. Reed III RC Airfield consists of a
500 foot long by 50 foot wide, asphalt-paved runway with an
adjacent 25 foot wide grass runway on the east side. Both clubs
also share duties to help maintain the field along with the
Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department. Low safety
fencing protects the pilots who can stand on concrete pads.[Map showing the RC Airfield--created with MS Streets
